Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, June 5th, 2009 in Actors.

Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

Harold and Kumar fans, be on the lookout for another film from the duo, A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas.

Vegetarian actor Kal Penn and co-star John Cho will begin filming early next year according to Entertainment Weekly. The film is set for release in November 2010.

By that time, Kal will have completed his White House stint as associate director in the White House Office of Public Liaison (OPL).

If you recall, in the first installment of the Harold and Kumar movies,  Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, when Harold and Kumar finally made it to the big castle, they gorged on little burgers.

The crew had some specially made vegetarian burgers for Kal, who played Kumar, to pig out on during the scene.

Kal is vegetarian for religious, ethical, and cultural reasons.

Def Leppard’s Phil Collen: Vegetarian And Hard Rock Not Illegal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, June 5th, 2009 in Male Musicians.

VH1 Rock Honors - Show

If you rocked out with Def Leppard in the 80s (and still rock out on the karaoke machine during the weekends), regardless of how much much your children make fun of you, don’t feel bad!

Guitarist Phil Collen is 51, still rockin’ hard, and the picture of perfect health. Just tell the kids they better hope they look this good at half a century.

When Collen was asked jokingly asked during an interview if there was a law against being a hard rock guitar player and vegetarian, Collen answered:

“I’ve felt weird about eating meat since I was a kid. I’m a picture of health at 51. I hardly eat any kind of food. I’m a vegan. You don’t need meat to survive. It’s a pleasure thing.”

Not to mention there are more faux pleasure meats than groupies lined up in the refrigerator or freezer section of the grocery store.

Rock on, Phil. Rock on man!

Mario Batali Loves Eating Vegetarians For Lunch And Dinner

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, June 5th, 2009 in Chefs, Not So Vegetarian.

Joyful Heart Foundation Gala Celebrity Arrivals In NYC

Mario Batali and fellow vegetarian hater Anthony Bourdain recently did a Q & A session with fans and one person asked Batali what he thought of vegetarians.

“Some of my favorite things to eat are vegetarians!”

Ha, ha haaaaaa, Mario.

Gwyneth Paltrow scolded him for eating baby animals during their culinary adventures in Spain…On The Road Again, saying it was bad karma to do so. Of course, given her phony vegetarian history (turkey burgers, anyone?) she didn’t have much room to talk, but good for her for selectively taking up for some animals.

Yeah, we’re sure there’s even worse bad karma for those who eat baby AND grass fed animals.

Mayim Bialik Home: Kosher With Vegan Options

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 in Actresses.

Opening Of CavaliaMayim Bialik is getting more than her 15 minutes of rediscovered fame with tons of interviews and a brand new makeover.

The former Blossom star has talked about her vegetarian diet before, and spoke with Celebrity Baby Blog again recently about some of the vegetarian and natural things she does in her household.

Mayim describes the fam as a “non-obnoxious” green one, (in contrast to the Goodes?) that share beds, make their own shampoo, granola, and cleaning products.

And while Mayim follows a vegetarian diet, the house isn’t completely veggie-just kosher with vegan options.

“I’m technically a vegan, but I do eat egg if it’s in things. And that’s how we raise Miles, too. I cook meat for my husband, which is Kosher, but we don’t have a vegan house, just Kosher house that has vegan options for everyone.”

Tomorrow is World Environment Day!

There’s no question that vegetarianism is kinder to Mother Earth than any other diet, as raising livestock emits more pollution than all the cars on the roads!

Yann Arthus-Bertrand‘s “Home” showcases the bad and the beautiful in one documentary. Scenic photographs of pastures and oceans taken from the sky, as well as the smog and pollution mankind has created during the past several decades.

“In 50 years, in a single lifetime, the Earth has been more radically changed than by all previous generations of humanity,” states the film.

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney will host a screening of the film at her West Hollywood store tomorrow.

The film is narrated in two versions, English by Glenn Close, and Spanish by Selma Hayek.

Rise Against Straight Edge Band…Almost

Tim Harmon

You already know the guys of Rise Against are vegetarian and big time animal rights supporters. That’s why they’re encouraging people to petition the Canadian government and Olympics committee to stop steal hunting.

But did you also know every one of the guys, with the exception of drummer Brandon Barnes, are straight-edge, which is a lifestyle marked by abstaining from many things, including alcohol.

Their latest tour kicks off in Canada this summer, where they’ll have bands like Rancid and Billy Talent opening for them.

Peter Max Credits Energy To Yoga, Vegetarian Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 in Artists.

The 6th Annual Womans Day Red Dress Awards - Arrivals

From now until June 7, you need to get your tails down to Sirani Gallery on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The lovely works of Peter Max are on display there, including his 44 Obama paintings and a total of 180 mostly unique works.

That’s a lot of numbers!

What kind of man has the energy to paint 44 pictures of President Obama? Max credits his endurance to yoga and a vegetarian diet and says he feels like a college kid again.

“I feel like I’m 22 years old,” Max said. “I have 100 people who work for me. I’m involved in animal rights. My wife and I are involved helping hundreds of organizations.”

He may feel like a newbie, but one thing’s for sure: Max is earning way more money that most young, starving artists.
